Description
Education in a New Society: Renewing the Sociology of Education
This influential book challenges the dominant quantitative approach to sociology of education, arguing that it has left many fruitful areas of inquiry unstudied. Since the 1960s, the field has developed new themes, concepts, and theories, but its methods have not kept pace with changes in both education and sociology.
The authors make a compelling case for renewal, urging the discipline to break free from its past and begin asking new questions and developing new programs of empirical study. This book will be of interest to anyone seeking to understand the current state of sociology of education and its potential for future growth.
